apple day ^ ^ ( self portrait)
I always love black and white photos, even though they make me feel not only peaceful but also kind of thoughtful and a little bit sad at the same time.
my little horse was chasing his dream…
what to do in a rainy day? -enjoy the day ^ – ^
the fall is calling…
I’m a parrot , mom named me Carrot!
As a color-lover, I enjoy colorful things, bright moments, really can’t stand “black and white” day. I used to try very hard to make people around me happy whenever they were blue, or to cheer me up every time I was down, but now I do feel that sorrow is just like happiness or those other things such as luck – bad luck, peace – chaos …we need them all , to make this life a life ^ – ^
a piece of summer sky..
If only I could fly like you..
hold your memories dearly..
can you feel life ^ ^ ?
Like a bar of dark chocolate – bitter but sweet, like the song of a heavy rain – lonely but peaceful, like a painting which can’t be perfect without some dark colors, now to me, life is that simple – as long as we can find happiness right in the dark moments, then everything will be alright ,yah, somehow ^ – ^
district 1 – the amazing coffee vendor ever!
my girl, my treasure ^ – ^
a moody afternoon…
there is a butterfly on my arm ^ – ^
hey I found a rainbow chair in this dark forest , how abt you ?
Yah,I hope you will always feel your colors in those black and white days of life ^ – ^ !
My Little Garden 
I shared this on my Facebook page, it is just lovely!
^ – ^ thanks so much for that, you are really kind ,All night knits!
Have a nice sweet coming day then :)!
Thank you. Sending good vibes your way!
your are very welcome ^ – ^ ! Thanks for being around!
May you have a sunny day,dear !
Very beautiful words…I think this is one of your best posts, because the words alone make it wonderful. As I am in China right now, I cannot download the picture…and cannot access any WordPress site, so I will have another surprise & take on this post when I return to Hong Kong. Your feelings about B&W photos is perfect, as I also fee this way: peaceful and introspective, but also a little sad. Take care, and have a colorful week. Cheers, Randy

^ – ^ thanks deeply for this very warm comment of yours, Randy !
haha,really happy to know that we shared the same feeling of B&W photos,I’m not very at taking them,you know, feel like the simpler they are, the harder for me to box my feelings into them ^ ^ !
Oh, you are on your trip to China eh ? ^ – ^ can’t wait for more of your wonderful sharings! Have a safe and sound trip,Randy 🙂 !
Just got back from China last night…so very nice to be back in HK, although very rainy day so far. Have a great weekend.
^ – ^ sorry so much for replying this late,Dalo !Glad to know that you were home ^ – ^ Did you enjoy you trip ?
Un, the rainy season has passed by my place, too ^ ^ perfect time for some hot soya milk and grilled yam huh?
Have a wonderful new coming week,too ^ – ^ , Dalo!
🙂 Always nice to hear from you. It was a good trip, but I leave again on Thursday to China & the DPRK for three weeks – so more silence from me in June. Hot soya milk and grilled yam…mmmm, sounds delicious! Happy that the rain has passed, Hong Kong has been very nice although rain may return later this week. Take care and enjoy your week!
Mấy ảnh này mà đăng bên mạng tumblr chắc dc reblog cả trăm lần. Art quá. (Khen quài cũng ngại hehehehe)
àh,yin thích “cuốn rau ăn kèm” dưới dạng 1 bài viết ngắn hơn là chỉ share những tấm hình 1 cách đơn thuần (cỡ nào cũng phải ráng chen vài hàng suy nghĩ mang tính tự kỷ vô mới chịu được 😛 ) !
^ – ^ Cám ơn Q.Trương nhiều nhiều ha, đọc comment thấy có xíu tự hào ( thật ra là tự hào ghê gớm 🙂 ,hy vọng đừng phát triển thành tự kiêu, không dễ tự tử lắm ) !
Haha, Trương ghé vườn chơi là vui rồi ,yin mà đc khen là khoái lắm (đừng ngại, haha) ,nếu có được chê thì cũng không sao (móng Bánh bao (mèo yin) nhọn lắm) ^ – ^
Trà táo heng ? (uống tại vườn nha :P)
Beautiful and really artistic, Yin.
^ – ^ Glad you like them ,Chris,thanks so much 🙂 ! Even I keep some colors, they still bring me a kind of blue feeling , un..> – < really want to have a warm and happy B&W photo!
Ah , are you planning an a new trip,Chris ? 🙂 May you have wonderful time then!
Have a peaceful coming weekend!
It’s the way you keep some colors in your BW pictures that make the pictures look so artistic, Yin. And you’re right, the colors make the pictures look more cheerful 🙂
As for my trip, well . . actually yes I’ve planned for a trip, perhaps in June or July. Now, I’m still busy with my works although I’ve already want to go 😦
Have a great Sunday, Yin!
^ – ^ you are really kind,Chris ,thanks deeply !
Ah, hope your trip will full of joy and peace ^ – ^ just can’t wait to read and enjoy your new post ! Don’t work too hard, plz take care,Chris 🙂
^ ^ Thanks so much, same to you, Chris – may you and your family have a happy Sunday !
The reflection of moods and colors are well said. This is a very nice post.
You are always so nice to me,thanks many many times, I feel truly happy having such a warm and sweet friend like you, Yello Cable ^ – ^
Yah, I love playing with colors very well,then I end up confusing how to call them : B&W photos – not really , colors one – nope , then colorful-B&W photos, haha 🙂 !
How are you doing these days , it’s has really been a while eh ? ^ – ^ hope that everything is bright there!
Have a colorful coming weekend ^ – ^ my dear friend!
I think you should call them “B&W+”. They are so mostly B&W plus some colors 🙂
Please do have the colorful weekend too Yinyin. Thank you.
haha – “B&W+” sounds really nice ^ – ^ thanks so much for your suggestion , Yellow Cable – same to you , too!

Hi, Carrot. I’m not a rabbit, mom named me Jojit
^ – ^ “So much tender joy and beautiful sadness in each photo” – I really really love this,it somehow speaks my heart, Jojit S Las, thanks deeply ,knowing you is just so great !

Yes, I liked Carrot’s photo the best, Yin. Next to your beady-eyed friend’s who found a rainbow chair
Carrot is the most treasure thing that I bought from Thailand – in Safari world theme park 🙂 Oh you can’t know how “out of control” I was when I saw him , just like love at the first sight,haha!
^ – ^ haha , the “beady-eyed friend” who you are talking abt is my dearest robot , I bring him everywhere! If you love him, Jojit, you may see more of his photos here:

thích note này của chị. còn phần hình ảnh, cá nhân em thấy một số tấm, nếu tiết chế phần màu cho bớt tương phản 1 chút thì sẽ đẹp hơn rất nhiều. Em thích hình con mèo, lọ hoa cúc (?) và cây me đang vương lên, màu tương phản nhưng lại rất hài hòa. 😀
^ – ^ Cảm ơn em đã ghé vườn nha, và những lời nhận xét rất chân thành của em nữa! Chị giữ lại màu gốc của “nhân vật chính” không đó em, không những không chỉnh thêm contrast mà có vài tấm chị còn cố tình làm mờ đi , phủ 1 lớp vàng nhạt lên , chắc vì màu nóng nên trên nền đen trắng cảm giác hơi gắt , để chị cố gắng khắc phục ha, thanks em nhiều nhiều 🙂 !
p/s: lọ đó là hoa cúc xanh ah em ^ ^ đúng ùi ! Còn mấy em cây nhỏ nhỏ hình như không phải cây me , tại chị thấy thân cây đỏ chóe àh, cũng không biết từ phương trời nào bay tới vườn ở nữa , hehe!
ôi vậy mà lúc đầu e tưởng chị tăng contrast lên chứ ;)) hôm nào phải tìm cách dụ dỗ c chụp cho e 1 bộ đen trắng mới dc hêu hêu
* cười nham hiểm *
(không phải đang dụ dỗ sao ta? > v < ) haha , mà chị không biết chụp hình chân dung hay nghệ thuật đâu nha e, sợ chụp rồi e qua đốt vườn chị tội nghiệp 😛
hiu hiu thì em đang dụ dỗ đó mà :)). Nói chứ có ng chụp cho em là mừng dzồi, (bonus thêm PTS nữa nha, trình của e cùi mía lắm kaka) =)))))
hehe ,chị chỉ được vụ cà da mặt trên pts thôi àh, còn lại có biết gì đâu , mà chị em mình “ăn ngủ điều độ, học hành tiến bộ,bạn bè mến mộ” nên chắc không có mụn dzí thẹo để cà rồi ha ^ ^
Beautiful. I love how you put color in the black and white pics…just like your words spoke of bringing color to people’s lives!!
Thanks a bunch,Kira ^ – ^ Glad to know that they may somehow make you happy!
Have a wonderful new week then!
Hope you have a wonderful week as well 🙂
^ – ^ Yah,Thanks so much,Kira!
